What does the job look like?

Earn up to $160,000 per year including overtime, working Monday to Friday in Emerald, without FIFO or rotating rosters.

We are seeking a highly motivated and safety-focused driver in Emerald, where you will handle general mining freight and deliver to customers and mine sites. Operate primarily under an MC licence, although an experienced HC driver could be considered with a pathway to upgrade.

You will start early at 5:00am, enjoy clear runs, and work in a safety-first operation where standards are clear and support is strong. You will split your time between driving and forklift work, keeping freight moving accurately, safely, and on schedule. Key areas: 

• Load, unload, and secure freight using dogs and chains, straps, and binders, double-checking restraints.
• Operate forklifts safely and efficiently at our Emerald terminal, taking care with mixed freight and mine-site critical materials.
• Deliver freight to mine sites and follow each site’s safety and access requirements.
• Apply safety standards consistently, including CoR and NHVR fatigue rules.
• Keep customers updated with clear, courteous communication and represent Linfox with professionalism.

Are you the one?

You are an experienced and conscientious operator who takes pride in your excellent driving record and safe work history. You'll bring:

• MC licence, or a strong HC driver genuinely capable of progressing to MC
• Current LF forklift licence and confident forklift operation
• Strong load restraint skills, particularly chains/dogs/binders
• Sound knowledge of Chain of Responsibility (CoR), fatigue management and NHVR
• Confident, respectful customer service — you’re the face of Linfox on the road

What's in it for me? 

• Monday to Friday work predictable, stable earnings up to $160k a year with overtime included.
• Mining freight experience high-value, hands-on work.
• You will work in a steady and supportive environment where safety, accuracy, and pride in your work matter.
• Career development opportunities and mentoring programs – We pride ourselves that we promote from within, offering great opportunities for career progression.
